My rig has changed a bit since my last picture. I sold my V200 amp and awaiting the return of my Mjolnir and in between I picked up a HE-6

 
 
Though you haven't used the Mjolnir with both (I assume) yet, if you had to keep one...HD800's or HE-6?

Nice. The HE6's always just look sooo slick

This is my head-fi station in its current state :)
 
Serious: PC => O2/ODAC => Denon AH-D7000
Casual: Xonar Essence ST => Fiio E9 (pre-amp) => Speakers (positioned behind and towards the left from the image below)
 

 

 
 
 O2/ODAC has finally arrived!
 

 
 
I love this topic, many many great rigs!

AKG, Beyer, and Beats (in the case of Fanny Wang), etc aren't as touchy as Apple apparently.

Well this is actually a bit beyond being touchy. It's the exact same design. If you covered the Superlux sign, I'd say someone modded their Beyers.

The Mjolnir is coming back to me today but I'm not home to pick it up so probably later this week I will be able to try them.
 
Right now the HD800 is my favorite headphone and pretty much suits me perfectly. The HE-6 I haven't had much time yet since I'm using the D1 dac/amp until my Mjolnir returns but it will have to be realy good to surpass the HD800. When I have a fair comparison which will be with that amp then i will know but it will take something special to surpass the HD800.

I think, in my experience, the only thing the HE-6 significantly passes the HD-800 in is bass.  The HD-800 sounds more open, has better separation, is more comfortable, and goes toe to toe in most other areas.  The only reason I use the HE-6 over the HD-800s is when I want more bass.  Bass aside, the HE-6s are a step above in most areas over the LCD-2.2s when amped properly, but I still prefer the LCD-2s because of the signature Audeze sound and oh, that sweet luscious bass.  I just can't go without it...  If bass was not something I was too concerned with, I'd go with the HD-800s and be done with it.  No second guesses or doubts about it.

I really should get a decal like this for my MBP. The Joker one is the one I've had my eye on for awhile.

I don't know. I picked the HD800 over the LCD 2.2 even though I listen to a lot of Bass Heavy EDM. I felt the HD800's bass just has more texture than the LCD 2 or HE-6. There was something about it.
